Life gets really intense when the planet of gumption and drive enters the realm of Pluto because you’re playing for all-or-nothing stakes.  Since playing it safe won’t be an option, you might as well push the pedal to the metal and pursue the things that matter most.  Mars in Scorpio will give you the single-minded focus and unbending will to go through the gauntlet.  And it will be a gauntlet.  But if you keep your eyes on the prize then you will emerge triumphant on December 13th.  Signs most affected: Aries, Cancer, Scorpio, and Pisces
